Our results indicate that FDI-Flows have a negative impact on overall wages in the manufacturing sector and this impact is stronger for female wages. We argue that one possible explanation for such an impact may be a decrease in the bargaining power of labor due to new labor market arrangements in a global economy where capital is free to move across countries in search of more favorable conditions. This decline in labor power also tends to have a greater impact on the more vulnerable workers female workers whose bargainingpositions have been traditionally lower than male workers.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of World-Systems Research}, author={Vijaya, Ramya M. and Kaltani, Linda}, year={2007}, month={Feb.}, pages={83–95} }
